WE’RE EXPECTING!
Save homeless animals from abandonment and suffering. Give to the Kitten Season campaign.
This time each year marks the beginning of Kitten Season, otherwise known as feline breeding season. This season is typically March through October, but varies across the country and is extended with more mild and warm winters each year. Many shelters experience the bulk of their cat and kitten intake during this time, and our barns, neighborhoods, streets and communities experience an increase of abandoned and homeless kittens and cats during this time. The next TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) event is being scheduled and we need your help. Our non-profit puts the 'N' in TNR with caring and dedicated community members performing the trapping and returning without compensation.
A monetary donation and/or supplies from our Kitten Season TNR wish list will help us reduce the homeless cat overpopulation and save unwanted animals from neglect, abandonment, or ending up in a shelter.
NOTE: Tails of Hope is a SPAY/NEUTER CLINIC. We are not a shelter, rescue or foster with kittens or other animals for adoption. We focus on the root cause of the pet overpopulation problem and prevent unwanted births and animals from entering shelters in the first place.

2020 Holiday Fund Drive
It goes without being said: It has been an incredibly difficult year where no individual, company or organization went unaffected. But when a community comes together, it can overcome almost anything.
Next, WE CELEBRATE THE PAWSITIVE people and stories that made Tails of Hope possible in 2020. See our News/Events website page.
And then WE REMEMBER: We are still in the grips of a worldwide pandemic and are facing the harsh realities of an incredibly difficult year. The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the spay/neuter community by creating a “gap*.” The worldwide pandemic-combined with effects of a national veterinarian shortage-leaves a 43% gap for Tails of Hope in 2020.
What does this mean? It means 1,182 less surgeries at Tails of Hope so far this year** for an estimated 3,546 births that otherwise would have been prevented without the pandemic and veterinarian shortage challenges.*** These animals are at risk of ending up abandoned in our community, ending up in animal shelters, and suffering in abuse and/or neglect.
Bottom line: Tails of Hope is essential, especially in chaotic and uncertain times. We need to prepare for a significant increase in numbers in the next couple of months and over the next couple of years from both individual and shelter clients. We urge you to fund Tails of Hope now to avoid an even heavier load placed on us and other animal organizations later.
Finally, we CALL YOU TO ACTION to donate to our 2020 Holiday Fund Drive. Our goal is to make up for the unprecedented gap and raise $100,000 by December 31, 2020 to provide spay/neuter services for thousands more animals in 2021, but we can’t do it without your help.
Would you be willing to make a special 2020 year-end contribution of to help/save more animals in need? You can make a difference with your generous support today so we can impact our community in a meaningful and lasting way.
Please join us by making your gift on our website donation form or by sending a check. The lives of thousands of animals are at stake.
We cannot continue our critical mission without your support, and we need your help now more than ever.
Stay safe, stay well, and best wishes for 2021,
Diane O’Brien Webster, Co-Founder & President
Soraya Hejazi, Executive Director

This is the calculation most commonly used to estimate cat/dog births prevented.
